[Panlong] Genius VS Genius

After confirming his relationship with Alice, Linley's daily practice didn't have much impact, but he went to Finlay City to meet Alice who came back from Willing School of Witchcraft and Magic at the middle and end of the month.Like many couples who fall in love, they will watch the snow together, go shopping, and participate in the annual grand festival of the Magnolia Continent - the Magnolia Festival.In their view, the relationship between the two is going well.

The Magnolia Festival is on January [-]st. Every year on this day, every country in the Magnolia Continent celebrates this grandest day in its own way.The Holy See of Light will also hold a grand mass today, even at the city of Finlay, the holy capital of the Holy See of Light.

On January 9998, 1, the Temple of Light in Finlay West City was surrounded by people. Knights of the Holy See Knights stood in front of the crowd, maintaining order in the square.

Alice looked at the tall building with reverence, and whispered to Linley, "Brother Linley, when the clock strikes eight o'clock, some high-ranking figures from the Holy See of Light will come out, including the Pope of the Holy See of Light." .”

Linley nodded, and asked after seeing the knights walking in the crowd, "Alice, the knights who maintain order must be at least a few thousand. They don't seem to be weak."

"Of course, those knights are at least level five knights. In the Kingdom of Finlay, only the Magnolia Festival is worthy of such a battle." After living in Finlay City for more than ten years, Alice still has some understanding of these things. of.

Linley was startled.

The minimum is a fifth-level knight? !

Such a powerful knight order, as a fifth-level magician, is nothing in front of them.

Alice pointed to the gorgeously dressed people in the distance, and said, "Look, there are a lot of nobles here today, even the six royal families of the Holy Alliance."

Linley nodded perfunctorily. He has never been interested in those nobles.

Time passed, and after a while, the clock struck eight o'clock.

At this time, the spire of the [-]-meter-high Temple of Light lit up instantly, and the white light suddenly illuminated the earth. The white light flowed on the angel statues on the square, and the treasures were solemn. The whole square was immersed in the beautiful divine comedy...

"Clap clap clap..."

A hundred temple knights in uniform, wearing white battle armor and red feathers on their helmets, came out of the side hall, so oppressive that everyone in the square was silent.

"I didn't expect the people from the Temple of Light to be so powerful." Delin Cowart appeared next to Linley stroking his beard, and frowned when he found out that there was a strong man in the sanctuary. I'd better hide in the Ring of the Coiling Dragon."

"A strong man in the sanctuary?" Linley couldn't help looking at the group of people who appeared after him.

The hundred temple knights were followed by a dozen or so priests in white robes, followed by a bald old man in silver robes surrounded by several red-clothed archbishops.

"pope!"

The appearance of the old man undoubtedly made everyone's hearts boil.

I saw that he was tall and tall, probably almost two meters tall, and he was holding a scepter that was about the same height as him.

Behind them, there were four old men in black robes and over a hundred warriors in purple robes.

Such a large group of people walked in the middle of the road in an orderly manner, and the square where hundreds of thousands gathered was silent, and no one dared to make any noise at all.

Unable to feel the aura of the strong man, Linley asked in his heart: "Grandpa Delin, you said there is a strong man from the sanctuary here, why can't I sense who it is?"

"Hehe, I can tell at a glance that the Pope of Light and one of the four black-robed old men behind him are all strong in the sanctuary. They are really confident, and they don't hold back their aura at all. I can't think of it , The small Holy See, which was shackled in the Pu'ang Empire, has grown to such a large scale." Grandpa Delin laughed.

"If you don't restrain your breath, then why can't I feel it?" Linley stared blankly at the group of people. At most, he could only feel their majesty, but he couldn't detect any strong breath.

"Linley, there are many strong people on the Yulan Continent. Those who are fifth-level magicians in Ernst College are pretty good, but looking at the entire continent, only those with seventh-level strength are qualified to be called strong, and the seventh-level strong Those who are in front of the Holy See of Light are just small people. On the mainland, the big forces include the Holy See of Light, the Holy See of Darkness, the Four Great Empires and many other mysterious organizations. You cannot estimate the number of strong people among them. When you reach a certain level , I will naturally understand those things." Seeing Linley's serious expression, Grandpa Delin continued, "Although your strength is not strong, your advantage lies in your youth. It will be a matter of time before you get there."

Linley nodded, seriously thinking about his current status.

As Grandpa Delin said, he is indeed qualified to be called a magic genius in Ernst College, but in the entire Magnolia Continent, he is nothing at all.Linley, who always thought he was very strong, only realized today that he was sitting on the sidelines before.

After the pope and his party passed by, the people in the square began to communicate in low voices again.

"Brother Linley, look, people from the six royal families are here, and the ones walking in front are the royal family of our Kingdom of Finlay. That big blond man is our King, and he is also the strongest fighter in our Kingdom of Finlay—— Ninth-level fighter."

"it's him?"

Linley looked up at the middle-aged man in golden armor, with a strong body and blond hair that resembled a lion.With such an appearance, it really fits his nickname of the golden lion "Clyde".

After everyone stood up, the pope surrounded by the cardinals was the most conspicuous among them.

suddenly--

With the Pope of Light at the center, a clearly visible white light permeated the square, covering the people in the whole square. Everyone showed a peaceful smile, and their hearts were unprecedentedly peaceful.

"In the name of the Lord!" Pope Bright said calmly, like a thunder in the quiet square.

In an instant, everyone on the field felt the coercion emanating from the Pope of Light. Linley failed to resist, and finally bowed respectfully.This coercion is more terrifying than the coercion of the two stronger men and the black dragon of the monster he met in Wushan Town.The difference is that this kind of coercion is not intended to oppress people, but to make people worship from the bottom of their hearts.

This is the divine coercion that belongs to the Pope of Light!

At this time, apart from the Pope Guangming, tens of thousands of people in the entire square, ranging from the cardinal, the six royal families, down to ordinary nobles and common people bowed their heads to listen to the instructions.

"May the Lord's love, grace, and gifts be with you." The pope's voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the world, shaking everyone's heart.

Ripples of holy light centered on the spire of the Temple of Light and slowly spread out. Everyone's heart calmed down, their bodies reached an unprecedented state, and their attitudes were very respectful.

"May the Lord grant you grace and peace." At the same time, the Pope of Light exuded a peaceful glory, "People of the Lord, let us confess our sins and piously repent of our mistakes in thinking, actions, and words. May the Lord bless you. Have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and give us eternal life."

After finishing the speech, the whole world recalled the holy chants in an instant. The voices of the believers were pious and beautiful, and weaved with the recalled songs in the world into the most peaceful repertoire.

……

The process of the mass is very complicated, including six processes of confession, pity, praise, prayer, thanksgiving and singing. After each step is completed, it is already noon.

The mass finally ended, and the people in the square left in an orderly manner.

Alice happily held Linley's hand and asked, "Brother Linley, how do you feel? Are you comfortable?"

Linley shook his head: "During that process, I felt that my whole body was being manipulated by others, and I couldn't fully wake up. It might be a good feeling for a helpless person, but I don't like being influenced by other things. A sense of involuntary control.”

I have to admit that the feeling of indulging in ease is very fascinating, but after all, Linley came back from the experience in the Warcraft Mountains, and he was completely awake after the mass.Now recalling the feelings just now, Linley had to sigh that the ability of the Holy See of Light to attract believers was too terrifying.

"How can it be called influence? The Lord is like our parents, and we are His people. We believe in Him, and He gives us grace and security." Alice is a believer in the Holy See of Light. He heard Linley say this. , naturally a little unhappy.

"Alice, our current strength is all obtained by our own hard work. How can we say it is the grace of the Lord? Since the Lord favors and loves you, why did he let you have such parents?"

Alice couldn't help but fell silent, and stared at Linley quietly.

"Brother Linley, I'm going back first, don't send me off." Alice turned and left Linley's side.

Linley frowned and looked at her receding back, and muttered to himself: "The Holy See is really harmful."

"Linley, it seems that there is still a question of faith between you and Alice." Grandpa Delin came out of the ring and stood beside Linley.

"Is this serious?" Linley asked back.

"That's natural. A person's beliefs often determine a person's living habits, way of speaking, and way of thinking. Alice has been a believer in the Holy See for more than ten years, and it is not so easy to change her mind. You should understand today, For them, the Lord is almost everything." Grandpa Delin looked at Linley lovingly.

"If it was Dixie, he would definitely agree with what I just thought." Linley said, staring at the spire of the Holy See of Light.

"Hehe, you are all so independent that you don't want to rely on others. It's normal to have many thoughts. You still remember that the belief of the Yulan Empire is the High Priest of the Temple of Life." Grandpa Delin laughed.

"Belief in the high priest and belief in the Lord should be two different things. Belief in the Lord is to place all hope in the Lord, hoping that he can get rid of all his sufferings and thus gain comfort. But believing in the high priest is to make up his mind to work hard in that direction, and even become a transcendent His existence. The former is relying on, while the latter is more of a goal."

Grandpa Delin looked at Linley proudly: "You see this very clearly. That's right. People in the Yulan Empire believe in high priests just like people in O'Brien Empire believe in Valkyrie. Powerful like priests and Valkyrie, and members of the Holy Alliance never dream of becoming the Lord themselves."

"Grandpa Delin, Alice has already left, and I'm not in the mood to continue playing. Let's go back to Ernst Academy of Magic."

"kindness."

It is normal for young men and women to quarrel when they are dating. When Linley met Alice for the second time, the two were in a mess again.Since that incident, both of them have consciously avoided questions about their faith.See you at least twice a month, and even four times a month when you're in love.Today, the two are even sleeping together, but they still haven't broken through the last line of defense.

According to Alice's words: "Let's save the first time until we get married."

Linley also agreed with this idea.

The second year, that is, the first half of 9998, was the best half year for Linley and Alice.

But no matter how good the relationship is, there will always be problems after getting along for a long time.

September 9998, 9 in the Yulan calendar.

"Hey, Alice won't tell me anything in her heart." Linley and his four brothers were walking on the way to Finlay City. Thinking of the last time the two broke up, Linley was filled with helplessness.

Because of the different living environment, Alice has many ideas that are different from Linley's.The most important thing is that Alice is a strong and independent girl, and she never compromises easily. It doesn't matter. What frustrates Linley the most is that Alice is a boring gourd.

"Third, have you had a conflict with your girlfriend?" Yale jokingly said beside him.

lei nodded.

Seeing Linley's distraught look, both Lei Nuo and George laughed, and Lei Nuo immediately said: "Lin Lei, you have to think about it when you face this kind of thing, you really value that Alice too much, so you will lose love in the future." It will be very miserable. Look at me, I have changed more than a dozen girlfriends, how happy I am."

"You have the nerve to say that every time you break up, your girlfriends will come to me and cry." Yale said angrily, "Although I am your boss, I haven't reached the point where my broken-hearted girlfriend wants me to comfort Right? Don't talk nonsense about Linley's relationship, Linley and Alice are planning to become husband and wife."

Seeing that Linley and Alice have been together for almost a year, they all know who Linley thinks of Alice.

"However, third child, there are many women, so don't wrong yourself too much." Yale patted Linley on the shoulder and said, "What's more, we still have such an excellent Delia."

When Yale mentioned Delia, Dixie said coldly, "You mean, my sister is an alternate?"

"Where is it? Linley is Delia's candidate." Dixie had already experienced Yale's protection of Delia once, and he really didn't want to do it again, so he could only explain it in this way in a hurry.

"Linley, after separating from Alice, you are not allowed to provoke Delia for three years." Dixie believed that Linley still had a little affection for Delia. After being injured, Linley chose Delia to heal his love wounds.Knowing that the possibility of Linley doing that was extremely slim, Dixie still said so.He was afraid that Delia would involuntarily get close to Linley, making a big mistake and regretting it for the rest of her life.

Linley said seriously, "Alice and I will never be separated."

Dixie said calmly: "Don't be too confident, the higher you stand, the harder you fall."

"I believe in our feelings. Go to the Clear Water Paradise, I'll go first."

Seeing the back of Linley leaving, the four brothers were all worried.

"Hey, I'm really afraid that Linley will fall into Alice's hands." Yale said worriedly, "Fourth, did you speak too harshly just now? I think Linley is in a bad mood."

"I'm just telling the truth. Everyone knows what the future holds for Linley and Alice," Dixie said.

"Yes, I know everything." Yale shook his head and patted his face, "Stop worrying about Linley and that woman. Let's go to the Clear Water Paradise to drink. Only wine is good!"

When Linley came back late at night, the four brothers realized that something serious had happened.Alice didn't even come back to release Linley's pigeons.

The next day, Linley went to Alice's house again, but Alice still didn't come back.

During the days when he returned to Ernst Academy, Linley was worried about his and Alice's affairs all day long.When I saw the crystal ball sold in the store, I finally smiled. If Alice had a crystal ball to store their memories, she would not be angry anymore.

The memory crystal ball is the water magic "floating image" attached to the crystal ball by means of alchemy.As long as a little magic power is input, the memory crystal ball can be activated to automatically record a scene of a certain length.After recording until the saturation is complete, start the memory crystal ball again later, and the memory crystal ball will play this video repeatedly.

After bargaining, Linley bought two memory crystal balls at an expensive price of 1200 gold coins.

From the beginning of the day, Linley kept recording every detail of his life, such as carving in the dormitory, listening to lectures in the classroom, and practicing in the back mountain, until a crystal ball was saturated.And the other crystal ball was left by Linley for Alice to record, so that Linley could also see Alice in the Ernst Academy.

In mid-October, Linley happily went to Alice's house in Ganmolu with his memory crystal ball on his back to find Alice, but he was disappointed in the end, Alice still did not come back.

On October 29th, the five brothers went to Finlay City together again, and Linley went to look for Alice early as usual.The remaining four walked side by side on the road to the clear water paradise.

Talking about the relationship between Linley and Alice on the road, George, Yale, and Lei Nuo all looked heavy.

"Boss Yale, Alice hasn't shown up for two or three times. Something might really happen between her and Linley. According to the character of the third brother, he must be the one who suffers." Reynolds changed from his previous laughing expression, Sigh again and again.

"This must be a big blow to Linley." George sighed, "But fourth, you don't seem to be worried at all about Linley and Alice."

Although both Linley and Dixie didn't like to talk, they didn't care much about each other.But George can still see that in the 1987 dormitory, the two people value each other the most.That kind of deep bond has existed since the two returned from the Warcraft Mountains.

"That's what he asked for." Dixie said coldly.

It was Linley who still chose to be with Alice even though he knew it wasn't suitable for him. Since the Magnolia Festival this year, he should have realized the problems between the two of them and chose to give up.

"You can't say that." George sneered.

When he turned his head to look at Dixie, George almost trembled at the look in Dixie's eyes.With such cold eyes, he always thought Dixie's eyes were cold enough, but George never knew that Dixie's eyes could be so cold!

It was so cold that people felt that the moment they met those clear eyes, they seemed to see the god of death.

"Dixie, you..." George was glad he didn't see those eyes from the front.

The three brothers followed Dixie's gaze and stopped together.

"No way, boss, that's...that's..." Renault exclaimed.
